The first trailer for "All of Us Are Dead" shows off plenty of bloody carnage as a high school is overrun by a zombie virus which is seemingly released by one of the school's teachers. It also has a self-aware streak, as we hear one of the students pointing out that their predicament is like "Train to Busan," the critically acclaimed South Korean zombie horror movie about passengers fighting to stay alive during an outbreak on a fast-moving train. Another student in the trailer even jokes, "Zombies should be in the movies, not at our school." They're not wrong!
The gory action only gets more unhinged as the footage rages on, and the incredibly suspicious teacher suggests that these fast zombies feel "extreme fear" and that they "attack only to survive." It's an interesting take on the undead, one that provides an answer to the carnage other than the typical thirst for brains and flesh. But just because this is set at high school doesn't mean it's suitable for youngsters. The trailer shows plenty of grim and bloody zombies, and it looks like we can expect "All of Us Are Dead" to be an incredibly grisly series.
"All of Us Are Dead" features a relatively young cast, with the likes of "Nobody Knows" star Yoon Chan-young as Chung-san and "House of Hummingbird" actor Park Ji-hoo as On-jo. Meanwhile, "Sky Castle" alum Kim Byung-chul is playing Lee Byung-chan, the mysterious teacher connected to the outbreak. The series is set to premiere on January 28.
